Is this scientifically a possiblity with our understanding of physics? Logically it would seem that the other way would make more sense since the past is fixed/documented, and the future is unknown. How would they know how to dial in to something that hasn't unfolded yet and would seemingly have endless outcomes?
Assuming I could actually understand the answer, this is the kind of stuff you'd like to ask someone who really knows what's possible. (with our current understanding)
Yeah, but if we call the Past... aren't we the Past's Future that is calling? So who's to say that if the Future is calling, it's not so much getting a call from the Future as it is the Future is calling the Past?
Time travel paradox and causality is a mind-bender for sure.

Really?

unknown to you ... but i am sure time isn't linear .... and the future already happened.
